GOING: S(6)

YARRAMAN PARK WOODLANDS STAKES 1100m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: +3m 800m-400m; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.18)  

A keen contest with Miss Freelove prominent courtesy of the rails draw, joined by Rainbow Glow and Kujenga. AKAYSHA (2) defeated the subsequent Group 3 winner Beadman on debut two back then ran on nicely but just missed over this distance at Randwick last start. That form is good enough to win a race like this. Snowden stablemate MISS FREELOVE (3) led from the outset and could not have been more impressive over today's distance at Canterbury last time out. Not likely to get things her own way this time but from gate one can box-seat and give this a mighty shake. STARDOM (6) jumped straight to the front and dominated over 1200m at Wagga recently. Easily accounted for by Akaysha on debut two back but has improved. Will give them something to catch. The speedy RAINBOW GLOW (5) is in the mix first-up from a spell on the back of a couple of nice recent trials. SUGGESTED PLAY: Akaysha to win.
